FBI agents are trained very differently than police officers. bananas Aug 2014 #61

I don't think it actually helps the cop much. stranger81 Aug 2014 #20

He charged him after being shot in the eye? alcibiades_mystery Aug 2014 #25

I agree that the cop's story stinks to high heaven and is likely made up out of whole cloth. stranger81 Aug 2014 #27

You are simply killing this thread. Number23 Aug 2014 #59

That was the fatal shot Warpy Aug 2014 #33

He could have been looking down at the 4 shots in his arms. I don't see proof he was attacking. freshwest Aug 2014 #38

so, is he less dead? shot 6 times. twice in the head. spanone Aug 2014 #43

Its new information relevent to the investigation. Travis_0004 Aug 2014 #51

Indeed it is...he got shot in the eye, then charged the PO-lice alcibiades_mystery Aug 2014 #53

Six shots is excessive force LordGlenconner Aug 2014 #54

And he was fleeing even if he'd turned around to follow instructions. Correct, doesn't clear Wilson. freshwest Aug 2014 #57

Even the stoic, impartial NY coroner said that shooting that many bullets is unusual Number23 Aug 2014 #60

The autopsy SO FAR does not show any bullets in the back. But who performed this autopsy? kelliekat44 Aug 2014 #62

That comment about "charging," as if MB were a Pamplona bull, is OUTRAGEOUS. And UNprofessional. WinkyDink Aug 2014 #63
